Ozzy Osbourne and his touring band will be joined by former Guns N' Roses/Velvet Revolver legend Slash when Ozzy performs at the 10th anniversary MusiCares MAP Fund benefit concert and where the Black Sabbath frontman will also be receiving an honor.

The special event will be taking place on May 12th at Club Nokia in Los Angeles and Ozzy is set to receive the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award for his support of the MusiCares MAP Fund which helps musicians battle their addictions.

"I know firsthand about the ravages of addiction and I also know that the MusiCares MAP Fund is a vital safety net for people in the music industry who need help with substance abuse," said Osbourne in a statement. "This organization literally saves lives."
